Abstract

Since 2003, the United States has focused its foreign policy on Iraq to democratize
and create peace. However, until 2021, Iraq has yet to become a democratic
country and remains a conflict-ridden region. In an effort to democratize Iraq, US
provides assistance to the country, through the United States Agency for
International Development (USAID). The findings of this research indicate that the
US government's agenda in Iraq has experienced failures, evident, for example, in
the 2021 general elections where Iraq still faced a political crisis and numerous
human rights violations. Additionally, corruption and armed conflicts continue to
occur in Iraq. It can be concluded that Iraq has not yet become a democratic
country. It was found that the reasons behind this situation include human rights
abuses and coercion by the United States itself in its efforts to spread liberal
democracy.
